Episode Details

Brendan Banfield faces life in prison for allegedly orchestrating the deaths of his wife Christine and Joseph Ryan — the stranger prosecutors say he catfished and lured to the home to frame for the murder. Robin Dreeke, former FBI special agent and head of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, delivers his full behavioral breakdown. Banfield took the stand and called the accusation "absolutely crazy." His IRS supervisor then contradicted his alibi. 

Prosecutors showed jail letters professing love to the au pair and discussing baby names. A framed photo of Banfield and Juliana was found on his nightstand eight months after Christine died. Blood evidence suggested staging. The defense says Juliana made it all up after investigators pressured her into a deal. Robin explains what Banfield's dismissive testimony language reveals, how juries process complex conspiracy theories versus simple explanations, and what the full behavioral picture tells us about what actually happened in that bedroom — and whether the evidence supports it.
